The Haul: July 2022

6 months down, 6 months to go! Welcome to July! Hope everyone is doing well! Let's see those goodies! Razors, blades, software, fountain pens, knives, CHAINSAWS (yes, THAT was awesome!), modes of transportation... Anything and everything you've acquired! Reel it in, haul it in, pull it in, push it in.... Let's see it!

 

Stopped by an antique store and a booth had a few razors but i picked these 2 up. Apparently the cheapy travel case and blade bank added $32 in value.. lol same seller one fatboy @$7 and the other at $39. Well i got them both and 20% off. Not bad.

Full bottle of Avon Island Lime, $3. I better not drop this one like I did the last one. Also their hair protein lotion. Good stuff.

 

Just got this sample pack of 6 different Marmara Barber edc’s.

 

just arrived..i could smell it before i opened the parcel....

 

My brushes came in
Culmak
Macys ? ( never heard of the brush brand )

The culmak is in really nice shape and hasnt lost a single hair while i cleaned , washed and test lathered
The macys brush lost lots of hair.

You cant quite see it here buy the center is higher and the outside perimeter is lower.
I believe this brush is a hybrid of badger and boar as the center hairs seem stiff and prickly.

Macy's was / is a department store.

Not sure who manufactured it for them.

 

I am a bit slow to show off my new Gillette Tech Slant from @twhite. I will be using it this week. I did a second pass last week with it, and I am looking to doing full shaves with it this week.

 

very cool.

 

Kind of looks like a Simpson. My BAC3 is made by Simpson for B. Altman Company, a high end store from NYC that's not around any more.

Wembdon wood shave bowl and Ever-Ready #750 butterscotch handle shave brush.............

 

very cool.boy does that brush look similar to the simpson commodore..

 

Thanks Gary, it has flatter sides than the Simpson.

 

Chiseled Face Midnight Stag ................. a little too much scent of sitting in the smoke of a camp fire and not enough leather, but it does dry down to a decent scent.
Vulfix and a Erskine H-750

 

Great looking brushes!
